Burton Farmhouse

I booked this accommodation as it is advertised as having a restaurant and a bar so we could have an evening meal for my birthday, only to be told that they do not do meals and haven’t done for 7 years. This therefore is false advertising and I have made a complaint to ******* as I paid for 2 nights @£95 per night. I will be seeking compensation for your misleading advertisement

We have just come back from a lovely week staying at Burton Farmhouse, the accommodation was great and very comfortable, the whole experience was enhanced by the fact that this is a working farm and morning sheep chorus was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

the hoel was booked as b&b as it is advertised. Surprised that no breakfast is supplied.When we arrived no key was left and when I found someone they were surprised to see us as though we were not expected.We asked about breakfast and the host said no breakfast,that is why they have a fridge in the room. It was not turned on and inside was a carton of milk that was obviously off.They had a small bottle of washing up liquid so as to wash any crockery in the bathroom sink.when we were taken to the room it was down a dark corridor ,the host did not tell us where the light switches were. It all seemed an inconvience.We were not shown where the the resturant/bar was ,presumably they were not open.the whole place seemed unsafe.At the entrance were boxes still there next morning.We felt that we could not stay so left the next morning and found a lovely place that had breakfast for the same price.

On the ********** website it is advertised as a b&b so were extremely surprised it was bed only. As it was room only this should have been made clear at the time of the booking.They did not appear to realise we were arriving so no key was left,had to find someone. We were shown to our room upstairs down a badly lit corridor. We seemed a bit of an inconvenience . If they were expecting us they should have turned on the fridge. There was a carton of milk still in the fridge that had gone off . We were told where we could get breakfast in the morning and no mention where the restaurant/bar was though I expect it was shut.We left the next morning as it was such a disappointment . We would not recommend this as a place to stay. Instead of staying 3 nights we left the next day. They probably did not know we had left.

Did not see any staff all weekend, key left in front porch with a note on arrival. Place felt ambandoned and un safe, had it not been height of summer season would have looked for alternative on night of arrival. Advertised details incorrect no restaurant or food available after 5 hour drive had to go out to find food. Plates and cultery left in room with very noisy fridge next to bed, expected to wash up in basin in bathroom. Farm in the middle of nowhere so no where to get food. Down stairs cluttered with parcels at door all weekend. Lounge area dark un welcoming and full of clutter and smelt of damp. Dreadful, will think twice about booking private b&b again. One room 2 nights £260 feel totally ripped off.

Lovely comfortable bed, good sized room and ensuite. Negatives are...quote isolated, breakfast not included, nearest shop to get supplies is a few miles away... I did go to Hope Cove, very few options to eat out, just two pubs (which are next door to each other), very narrow country roads to get to the property, the room and ensuite I stayed in was just above the owners family room, if I could hear everything, they could hear me too In the evening as I was settling down for the night..the person staying in the room next to me talking loudly on the phone for at least 90 minutes before his travelling companion pursued him to stop. The thought of spending a second night there filled me with dread, so I opted to leave in the morning ...Not for me at all.

We can say that the bathroom was really clean, other than that we cannot be positive about anything else. The whole feeling of the property left a lot to be desired e.g.light bulbs not working, bathroom door handle loose, communal areas were uncared for and shambolic. Not a happy experience.

Burton Farmhouse provides very reasonably priced, comfortable accommodation a 10 minute drive from Salcombe. It's bed only not breakfast but there is a kettle, fridge, crockery, etc. in the room. Checking in and out was easy.

An unusual level of independence given to the traveller - very limited contact with hosts but you knew they were there if needed and they certainly responded to our needs promptly ! This arrangement suited our needs , but might not suit those that enjoy more contact with the hosts .
